i'm looking to upgrade my old 3rd 40gb iPod with a new 5th Gen iPod Video, if i can talk the partner round that is :?

Anyway, I dunno what one to go for, the 30gb or the 60gb with extra battery.

i never really used the full 40gb in my 3rd Gen iPod, but with Videos, I might fill it up. Does anyone know, if you copy over videos to the 5th Gen iPod, and its not in the required format, could you still play it out onto a TV, rather than converting it for small playback on the iPod's screen.

Also, i would need to get the new dock for it, will this allow me to charge the ipod? and if so, is there anyway of charging it from the mains? My 3rd Gen ipod has a firewire line that plugs into the mains, but guess this won't work with the 5th Gen.

Any pointers, thanks in advance.

Cheers

I always try to get the highest capacity there is, that way there is plenty of room to grow. Videos have been taking up lots of space on my 30gb 5G iPod, which I ended up getting as a gift from my Mom so I went for the 30gig to save her some money.

In a shop called Currys here in the UK. They opened a new store in my area, that had 10% off for that weekend, but they didn't have any iPod Videos. :cry: So i went to the next nearest Currys store, and because they done "Price Promise" the gave me the 10% off there too
